Had to post one more. It was that good. This is about 8 minutes after the photo in the previous post. Came in quick.

Stoked to play a small part in a feature on surfboard builders of the Outer Banks on Surfline. Matt Pruett did a great job on the story and Daniel Pullens portraits of all the shapers are super. These guys put in a lot of work into the story and its definitely worth checking out. Click on the screen grab of an aerial photo I shot last summer to view. I’ve had a few inquiries from people wanting to purchase a print of the image…click here to buy a print or canvas.
Yesterday was the first day I’ve shot surf in almost 2 months. Felt good to be back in action even though the surf was lackluster. Conditions were beautiful, but it was mainly heavy closeouts where I ended up. Only shot a couple photos then went for a bodysurf. Weather was amazing. Nigel Haynes is the surfer.
Excited to have a Behind the Glass feature on EasternSurf.com. It’s a collection of some of my favorite photos over the last few years with voiceover captioning. Just a heads up I rambled on and on and on on a few of them. Didn’t realize that until now haha. Anyways hope you enjoy. Click on the screen grab below to view.
For my upcoming Eastern Surf Magazine portfolio feature, one of the questions asked is what is your favorite subject besides surf? Didn’t really have to think about it. Clouds! This storm cell moved in soo fast. Was sunny and beautiful 10 minutes prior to taking this image. Was actually in the middle of shooting and engagement session! 5 minutes later it was pouring rain. Thankfully theres a delay between when the clouds approach and when the rain makes it to the ground. Love me some stormy weather.

Been a while since I put a diptych together. Here’s couple old photos I think work well. Zander Morton carefully stepping down a razor sharp Nicaraguan staircase and an unknown surfer making the trek back up the ”Goat Trail” at Blacks Beach in San Diego.

Here’s an incredible sunset I shot last winter. It was one of those evenings where the sky was overcast and looked pretty boring, but I had a feeling it would light up after the sun went down. Had no idea it would be as amazing as it was. The sky caught fire changing from blue to purple orange and pink. You can see the atmospheric instability in the clouds that resemble bubbles or boiling water..also known as mammatus clouds. And if you look carefully you can see the face of Mammatus himself.

Here’s a few images I shot a few years ago during hurricane earl swell down in Salvo. I started the day shooting from the water then hopped in the heli around lunch for a different look. It was such a cool experience shooting the surf from above and watching the waves bend and barrel. If it wasn’t so darn expensive to fly I’d be up there every swell…definitely one of my favorite perspectives. Ended up scoring a handful of magazine spreads from this session so it was worth it! A classic day on the banks!
